What drinks go well with Mexican food?

Planning on haven a dinner with some friends and we are going to have Mexican food, but i cant think of what drinks would complement Mexican food well.What drinks go well with Mexican food?
Fruit drinks like limeade, orangeade, or pretty much any tropical fruit liquified in water with some sugar. Another common mealtime beverage is agua de jamaica which is the chilled infusion of a certain type of red hibiscus. If you ever drank red zinger tea it's the red part. Be sure to add sugar as it has a tart flavor.



Apertifs- gold or aged tequila served in a snifter. As chaser serve sangrita which is basically a virgin mary with extra tabasco sauce- add a bit of sweet orange juice to it!- sip the tequila serve the sangrita in a large shot glass.



Rum and coke, called Cuba Libre, also is a popular before meal beverage. Some elements of society prefer brandy and coke. In my family vodka and whiskey are popular too; not mixed of course! Gimlets are popular these days in warm weather.



Red wine and lager beer may be consumed before during and after dinner. If you like a hearty, flavorful beer I do not recommend any Mexican beer, but if you like Miller or Coors products you will be fine with Mexican beer. Most of the wine produced and consumed in Mexico is red wine. If you can't find any Mexican wine go for a Spanish Ribera del Duero or a Shiraz from anywhere-these are what we usually drink anyway.



After dinner you might serve more cocktails, tequila or whiskey or desert wine. Many Mexicans enjoy an Irish cream liqueur, Frangelico, or an ultra aged tequila. Older people will often have an anise liqueur or a 43 which is a Spanish herb liquer.What drinks go well with Mexican food?
